Chapter 668 Suppressing the Ministers
Chapter 668: Suppressing the Ministers.
Arenas led Todd to the outside of the Council. Before he entered the temple, he heard a lot of quarrels.
"He, a child of a third-rate nobleman, how can he be the emperor of the demon clan? ”
"Yes. If you want to be, that's also our Heck family. ”
"Bastard. Our demon clan has always been in power with the An royal family, and you can say such a big rebellion. ”
"What's the matter? The Emperor takes turns. It's better than that Todd, right?"
"Get out of the way. ”
"Who are you scolding? Believe it or not, I've abolished you old horseman. ”
"Don't make any noise. Listen to me, Todd is my disciple. In getting rid of the cancer of Rhona, he played a great role. He deserves to be the emperor of the demon race. For us, it will also be much stronger than Antoine. By his voice, Todd knew it was Sandra.
"Sandra, you still have the face of Tirona, have you forgotten when you were messing with Rhona?"
..........
Arenas glanced at Todd and said with a smile, "Do you still want to be the emperor of the demon race?"
Todd smiled at the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and stepped into the council hall. Arenas raised an eyebrow and followed.
In the hall, a room full of old men was arguing. Suddenly, the central figure of the argument came in, coughed, raised his head, and sat upright.
"Master. When Todd entered the door, he saw Sandra standing in the center, stepped forward, and half-knelt on the ground.
"Get up..... Sandra grabbed Todd's arms and pulled him up, "From today on, you are the new Demon Emperor." I am the national teacher of the Todd Empire. ”
Todd knew that Sandra was speaking to those present. Nodding, he turned to face the crowd and said, "Everyone......."
"Todd, do you really think of yourself as an emperor? An old man raised his chin and looked at him with contempt.
"Hehe......" Todd knew that this person was in the demon capital, except for the An royal family, the largest family, the patriarch of the Heck clan. On weekdays, Antoine is also afraid of him.
"As long as you always support, etiquette, no matter when, I will not be less. Todd said.
"Then let me tell you this noble boy who is not in the stream, I don't want your etiquette at all. No matter when. Huh, hahaha........" Patriarch Heck laughed insolently.
When he laughed, the others laughed too. Sandra looked embarrassed and bowed her head silently. And Todd also had a hint of anger in his heart. Over the years, the personnel changes of the demon clan in the court have all been controlled in these major families. In other words, the ministers of the court are all their people. In the core of the power of the demon race, they form a party for personal gain, and they are rampant. For so many years, the demons have been stagnant. To create a new demon race, these people are undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block.
At this moment, Arenas walked in and looked coldly at the old guys present.
"Arenas?. Why aren't you traitors dead?. The patriarch of the House of York stood up and shouted.
"Me?" Arenas sneered, "You old immortal is not dead, how could I die?"
"Bastard. Say it again!" said the Patriarch of York, standing up and furious.
Arenas walked up to the Patriarch of York with a grim face, and without saying a word, he kicked the Patriarch of York in the crotch.
"Ahh ...you dare to ......" The Patriarch of York bent over in pain, his face flushed.
Arenas grabbed the neck of the Patriarch of York, and without hesitation, he jerked his elbow upward. 'Click. With a thud, the Patriarch of York's cervical vertebrae broke. He didn't snort, and fell to the ground like rotten meat.
"Don't. ....."Sandra was going to stop it, but it was too late.
Arenas didn't look at it, reached out and grabbed the hairpin on the top of the head of the Patriarch of York, threw it back, and threw it out of the main hall, saying, "You old immortals." I, Arenas, am the new Generalissimo of the Todd Empire. Let me tell you the fact that I called you here today to save you face. But, don't me off. I, Arenas, kills easily. I don't think about how big a family you are behind or how many forces you have. And, today. If you don't agree with Todd as emperor, then, hmph...... no one wants to leave alive. ”
The violence of Arenas is known to the demons. The Yorks are the second largest ethnic group after the Hecks, and one of the third nobles in the Demon Capital. He killed him if he said so. For a while, the old men of various ethnic groups were stunned and sat there silently.
Todd glanced at the atmosphere. I deeply feel that sometimes killing people is much more effective and fast than saying 10,000 words.
"He's yours. Arenas pointed to the Heck patriarch and said to Todd.
Todd knew what Arenas was referring to, took a breath, and walked over.
"Todd. Todd. No, don't kill me. I, I ...... I support you. Patriarch Heck stood up with a pale face and said in horror.
Todd stopped and smiled indifferently, "Thank you for your support." So, guys, is there anyone else who is against me? If so, please stand up. ”
None of them came forward.....
Todd looked at Arenas. Arenas jumped into the seat of the Patriarch of York, slumped up, and said, "Don't look at me, you are the future emperor." Next, what to do, you should know. ”
Todd took a breath and walked briskly to his chairman's seat. Turning around, he said, "Noble ministers, next, I will issue the first order. That is, please merge your private forces into the city defense force of the Demon Capital, and leave it at the disposal of General Logan. ”
Private armed. It is a custom that has existed since the founding of the Demon Race. After each large clan nobleman is knighted, he can have hundreds or thousands of guards equal to his title. Originally, hundreds, or even thousands of escorts posed no threat to the demon capital. However, secretly, each nobleman is expanding his power. This is already a well-known fact.
In the magic capital, there are dozens of aristocratic groups. Each has tens of thousands of soldiers. Added up, it's a number that can't be ignored. Todd had mentioned to Sandra that if this continued, it would be a great threat to the Demon Capital and the Emperor. But, at that time, Sandra was obsessed with Rhona's femininity and did not listen. Now, he wants to incorporate the armament of these nobles into the Demon City Guard, in order to remove the threat of the clan to the Demon Capital.
"What? to merge our convoy into the city defense force? Todd, you're not talking nonsense, are you?" said Patriarch Heck, who immediately stood up and objected.
"Patriarch Heck, how many soldiers you have under your command, don't you need me to say, can you?
"I have thousands of soldiers under my command. A book is available. Besides, since the demon clan broke away from the Cult of Light and established the Demon Empire, the nobles have private guardians, which was determined by the ancestors. It is unreasonable for you to overthrow the rules of your ancestors before you come to power. "Heck patriarch Fire Road.
"There is a precedent for everything. After self-Todd, there will be no nobles who have private armies. You can also rest assured that when you surrender your troops, you will be treated the same as any other group. And you'll be compensated heavily. Todd said.
"No way. Todd, I'll tell you today. Even if I die here, you won't want to touch our private guards. Everyone said, right. Patriarch Heck raised his arms and shouted.
"Yes. Kill us. We won't hand over the nursing home....." Patriarch Heck took the lead, and the rest of the people stood up in response. Inside the main hall, there was chaos again.
"Everyone, be quiet! The private nursing home affects the stability of the magic capital. Withdrawal is a must. Sandra said.
"Fuck you. You don't, it's easy to say. .....," Patriarch Heck scolded.
Todd looked at the chaotic scene coldly, his fists clenched, a hideous color appeared on his face, and he kicked the table and shouted, "Shut up!" ”
The people in the hall fell silent and watched Todd's every move.
"In. Alfred led his troops into the main hall, knelt on the ground and said, "The new commander of Arthur's Palace, Alfred, see Todd the Great." ”
"Affled, you take someone to the Hekhs at once. In my name, include the Heck Escort in the city defense ranks. ......”
Before Todd finished speaking, Patriarch Heck said with a resolute face, "Todd, you dare. . . ”
